BEGIN{ }  is too soon; at that point $query isn't yet populated.
For testing, I'ved tried $ENV{"TZ"}="GMT";  _just_ before
the RRDs::graph, and it was ineffective, at least under mod_perl
and RRDs.

Quite possibly.

The extra parameter to "graph" solves my needs pretty simply.  I do plan
on trying to add some proper error checking, documentation, etc if you're
interested in having it in rrdtool, otherwise I'll keep it around as a
private patch to apply to new versions.

I also got my script working for adding DS's and RRA's, but it's too
platform specific.  I am going to take another stab at trying to make
rrdtool itself do it, since rrdtool already has the platform specific byte
offset issues figured out.
